In this video: Dr. Chondrogiannis Discusses the Benefits of LANAP®

LANAP® Keeps Your Mouth Healthy

Our doctors
recommend laser gum surgery, not only because it is more convenient for our
patients but also because it promotes better bone health. Stimulating the bone
with the laser encourages the regrowth of bone lost to periodontal disease.
This allows our doctors to save teeth that have become loose, avoiding the need
for extraction and subsequent tooth restoration procedures. Treatment with
LANAP® improves the health of your entire smile.

How Does Laser Gum Surgery Work?

LANAP® is performed without harming your healthy tissue. Our doctors can simply slip the fine
tip of the laser in between your teeth and gums, allowing its special wavelength
to vaporize the bacteria and diseased tissue. Your gums will be healthier, immediately
after laser gum surgery.

Madison Avenue Periodontics Treats Gum Disease with LANAP®

Gum disease can quickly affect your healthy smile, leaving you with bleeding gums, bad breath, and gum recession. Without treatment, you could lose your teeth and bone yet more than half of American adults suffer from this chronic infection. If you have gum disease, but have avoided treatment due to lengthy recovery times associated with gum surgery or dental anxiety, laser gum surgery can restore the health of your smile without scalpels or sutures.

Sedation Dentistry

We use various techniques in our practice to control anxiety and pain. Conscious sedation is used to alleviate patient anxiety and stress and provide a more comfortable setting for all aspects of dentistry. Sedation can help you feel more relaxed during visits and easily allows numbness prior to treatment.

Different Types of Sedation

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous Oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a sedating gas that is combined with oxygen to make patients more comfortable during dental care. Nitrous oxide enters and exits the bloodstream rapidly without any long-lasting effects meaning you can come to your appointment unattended and leave on your own.

Oral Conscious
Sedation
Oral Conscious Sedation is given in a pill form by prescription before your dental appointment. It may be combined with Nitrous oxide resulting in a more comfortable dental appointment.

Intravenous (IV) sedation
Many patients have found that dental care with intravenous sedation may be the most comfortable and relaxing solution to their dental problem. IV sedation is the most effective method of acquiring adequate and predictable sedation in all patients. We provide a board certified anesthesiologist in our office to administer the sedation while we take care of your dental needs.
